Market street and had gone up this
alley toward the residence of the
man for whom she seems to have a
strange infatuation, and had proba-
bly, taken laudunum, hoping to end
her existence there. A crowd at
once collected, and DR.. G. j. Scott
was called. Mrs. Farrow, still in
an unconscious condition, was taken
home in carriage. The proper an
tidotes were administered and she
has about recovered.
A very bold attempt was made to
rob the bank at Anderson. on the C.
q 0. road, one night last week. 1t
was about ii o'clock and the west
bound passenger train was nearing
the station, when a man standing at
the coal house door in the rear Of the
Valley Bank, fired three pistol shots
at Isaac T.. Mann, the teller, who
had stepped out the door on small
platform. The balls missed him
and struck the door, one going
through it. After firing the would
be robber and assassin rushed at
Mr. Mann and aimed blow at him
with the pistol or knife, but Mr..
Mann warded off the blow with his
left arm and struck the man in the
face with his right fist knocking him
over, when he sprang back to the
bank for his own pistol. The man
was gone when he came out armed,
and could not be found. The man
must have struck at Mr.. M. with a
big knife, for his coat a seersucker)
has in it II large, well-defined cut.
The man used self-cocking revol-
yer, and got in his work rapidly
while the moving train was making
a racket. Persons who heard the
shooting thought it was torpedoes
exploded on the track by the cars.

STRUCK.
A Large Gang OF ~Trsck-Layers Quit
Work on III Cheyenne q Northern.

About eighty-fve track layers came il
on the Cheyenne Il Northern last night.
They were scattered all over the train,
some occupying boK-cars, others riding on
the less pretentious fat and a few sat il
the coaches. AS they alighted and took
different routes Tor the Office OF J. j.
Brown & Co, the contractors, a reporter
selected one who appeared to be rather
intelligent and asked him the cause of the
immigration.
Well, young fellow, we've struck, and
| guess most of the boys are glad of it.
We were employed in Omaha with the
understanding that we receive 81 per day
in cash and pay "a per week for board.
As that sounded about right there was
no trouble in securing men. When We
arrived at Cheyenne we were told tha,
board had been advanced to S. 50. Oh
course there was some kicking, but hav
ing come so far we concluded to go on.
When we got to Chugwater they raised
the board so cents more, but promised
that the grub should be the best eveI
given to any gang Of track layers. Well.
we went to work, and what do you think
that son-of-a gun fed us on2 Nothinl
but poor bread. putrid meat, weak coffee
and potatoes that were pretty fair. We
might have done pretty well on pota.
toes if they'd given us enough of them,
but one potatoe was expected to last tire,
men about four days. We objected right
away and were promised better food, but
it never came, and yesterday We quit.
There's only about twenty track layers ur
there now, and no iron has been laid since
Thursday. We've got one consolation,
though, they didn't discount our wages
Attempts were made by a LEADER rep
rssentative last evening to see j. j. Brown
K Co., or agents, and learn their side a
the story, but none of the gentlemen
could be found. It is supposed that an.
other force of men will be secured at once
and work continued.

In the form of insanity generally known
as monomania-but for which the term
p%aranoia is now preferrcd-the person
shows signs of mental unsoundness only
on particular subjects, or under special
conditions.
Many persons who are thus partially
unsound a"e attracted to this country
from Germany and Italy, and readily
pass as sane until long after their arrival,
and rear families disposed to insanity.
The proportion of such persons of German
and Italian patronage found in our asy-
lums is double that in the asylums of their
ancestral country.-Youth's Companion.

A BAD THING TO HAvE.-Mrs. Colonel Percy Yerger, fashiona. ble Austin lady, is afflicted with partial deafness, and just now she is also struggling with the pre- vailing influenza, so called, because the sufferer cannot prevail upon it to leave. Mrs. Colonel Percy Yerger also wrest!ed with an in fant about six months old.
 There was social gathering at the ierger mansion, not long ago, on which occasion Colonel High, flyer asked how the baby was com Ing on. The partially deaf lady must have had the baby running in her head, as we'll as the cold, and got them mixed up, for when Colonel HighilOwer, who is d mod. est old bachelor, asked her how the cherub was coming on, she re- piled with animation, evidently having the cold in her head:
 Il usually have them every wtn- ter, colonel, but l must say this is the worst one ever had. | man aged to get rid of all the rest in less than three days, but this one sticks to me like a tick.'
 "Madamw exclaimed the horri ti- ed colonel.
 "lt just worries me nearly to death. It keeps me awake all night. expect l will have it on hand all winter, and 1 can tell you by your looks you're going to have oue just like it.'

Boys and their Mothers

Some one has written beautiful ly of the boys in the following man. ner: "Of all the love affairs in the world, none can surpass the true love of the big boy for his mother. It is pure love, and noble and hon. orable in the highest degree to both. 1 do not mean merely du- tiful aflection; mean a love that makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, saying to everybody that he is fairly in love with her. Next to the love of a husband nothing SD crown wOman's life with honor as this second love, this devotion of a son to her. And 1 never yet know d boy turn out bad who began by falling in love with his mother, Any man may fall in love with a tresh.faced girl, and the man who is gallant with the girl may cruelty neglect the worn and weary lite, but the boy who is d lover of his mother in her middle age is d true knight, who will love his wife as much in the sere leaved autumn as he did in the dasied spring time.'--Cricket on the Hearth.

CULLiBiL-iTY.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of il worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the credulity and ignorance of an honest public, and the supply of this species of work seems more than an adequate demand. The enuneation of tacts-iacts that have stood crucial te>ts-iacts proven by brain force and tangible evidence, should sa,istv all laudible enterprises; but the eX- ecrable practice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for lf-aggrandzement is truly rcprehensble and should be scorned by all classes.
 When one house tells you that Iodine of Potash is poison simply because their op- ponents use ii, and because they are paAdcr7 ing to your ignorance, as they suppose, you should look upon all such as arrnnt frauds and their remedies as unworthy public con ffdencc, and if those who make such asser- tions do not know better, the are set of uh- enviablc ignoramuses.

WHOM l LOVE BEST.
l love the man who takes delight In doing good because lis right.

1 love the man who takes delight In doing good because tis right.
 Whose sense of duty is his rule Of action in life's daily school: W here duty calls, and when, he goes, And duty measures all he does.
 But yet hold his life more fine, Whose acts transcend mere duty's line Who seeks all good for sake of good, And does the right because he would: From neither policy nor art,
 But from the fulness of his heart. l love the brother who pursues What common justice calls his dues, Who to the iot eXacts redress Demands his rights, no more, no less. And with his neighbor Is content When he returns the compliment. But vet my heart far more delights In him who sometimes valves his rights Who durst what justice makes his part Forego, to heal broken heart,
 And yield his rightful claims to roll Oftlmes some burden from a soul love that servant of .he Lord Who serves in hope of due reward; Who evil shuns that he may gain Deliverance from fear and pain; Who runs the race to win the prize, And tolls for mansions in the skies. But yet my love feels more esteem For him who serves by faith supreme; Whose motive, neither fear of pain, Nor ct she hope of richer gain,
 Is love-pure, unalloyed-within, Of every act the hidden spring. l love the people We call friends, On whom so much of life depends; Who would cheer Us one day that we, The next their comforters might be, And by the arts of friendship earn True friends in Us by due return, And vet l must confess love
 Those more whose friendships .born
 abOve,'
 Who are my friends, not for my sake, So much as His who died to make The fatherhood of God the plan Of common brotherhood in man.
